Rory and Leonard - Anti-fashion mascots.

Hello.
This post is entirely devoted to the idea behind Rory and Leonard, Anti-fashion league mascots. They got VERY jealous when Motorway Rooster got his own post, so it's about time they got their percentage of blog coverage. Firstly, I'll start with saying, Rhondah could not do her job without their constant support and inspiration..

A bit about the duo.

Rory:
Age: 13 years. That awkward age.
Hair: Reddy orange.
Face: freckly, slightly weird shape. Cute button nose.
Likes: Helping Rhondah at saving the world from fashion
Waffles with peaches. Cuddles with Leonard (but don't tell anyone.)
Dislikes: Asparagus. Being called 'carrot head.' Fashion.
Girlfriend: Don't ask.
Favourite game: Scrabble.
Future career: Anti-fashion President.
Sometimes worries about: Being crushed unexpectedly when the day comes when he finds the spot where the odd socks have gone to over the years.
Often worries about: The hazards of open toed footwear and the frequent requirements of many school children to wear these every day without exception.


Leonard:
Age: 12 years. But still furry.
Hair: brown
Face: Brown, with little rosy cheeks.
Likes: Riding in the supermarket trolley.
Dislikes: Washing machines. Feeling that he cannot solve all the world's problems with a little cuddle.
Girlfriend: Prefers to remain loyal to Rory to serve his emotional needs. feels a girlfriend would definitely come between them. Physically.
Sometimes worries about: The fact he's only a bear and the world won't take him seriously.
Is always amazed at: Rory always knows what he's thinking, even before he says something.
Last night dreamed about: Being trapped inside a handbag inside a washing machine.



The evolution of the mascots:

A mock up of Leonard for the vip club mascot.

Doughy mascot. Looks like a weird unbaked cookie.


Even an older mascot was considered.. this appears to be tomato man, but he just wasn't cute enough.

Current day Rory.
Rory's very own product. Never got off the ground. Although I did source some freckles from a map supplier in Chicago, they refused to send them for under $25 US postage so I opted out. (the freckles themselves cost $4.)


Leonard joins the campaign to stop bears in washing machines.
